The performed OLEUM research activities and the actual project state-of play were presented in this hot-topic session, together with the expected results and impact that OLEUM will have on the quality and authenticity of olive oil at a global scale, with a particular focus on the actual situation of the olive oil sector in the USA.
The session (http://annualmeeting.aocs.org/program/special-ses- sions-x2534) was followed by many participants and arose much interest; the intervention of Selina Wang, research director of the UC Davis Olive Center and member of the OLEUM Advisory Board was very stimulating to promote an open and wide collaboration in the olive oil sector.
